    Concussed kittens might take offense at that slur, true.

    Most certainly not. Mind you, foreigners tend to have major issues pronouncing it although it's quite simple.

    Nice to see a steely dan reference from the album "the royal scam" (appropriate for a thread on divorce).

    Marriage is a major life committment and shouldnt be done soely on an emotional basis. I've been married going on 9 years, and its the best and worst thing I have ever done. This topic is very subjective based on circumstance, good marriages can go bad, and bad ones get better.

    Its really a matter of values, and divorce while not ideal has a valid place in the equation as often, its the best scenario for all those involved.
    There are few things more annoying than some idiot who has never done anything trying to say definitively how something should be done.

    I've been married nine years yourself and it looks like we have the same opinion, maybe its our condition!!! Anyway, everyone's different and you can't kill the old lady like the good ol' days or sell her into slavery. Divorce is a good thing, no matter what many on my side say. Sure, it can screw up kids but I've seen kids flourish after a divorce. Again, not every kid is the same either. Statistics, psycology, enviroment, the quality of you weed, there are just too many factors to say whats good/bad about divorce.
    I told my wife that when she hit 36, I'm trading her in for 2 18 year olds!!!
    RIP Tosa

    Divorce is fine in some situations. Now, I don't like the 1/2 statistic, but sometimes people realise what a terrible person their spouse is. Now, I don't advocate divorce, I don't like it and it screws up kids but it is a necessary evil.
